Degree of obesity influences the relationship of PAI-1 with body fat distribution and metabolic variables in African women
(Elsevier, 2016)Introduction Although the relationship of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) with obesity has been well established, the relationship of PAI-1 with different body fat distribution patterns is less clear particularly ... -

Deliberate strategy and the tangible link to performance: lessons from South African higher education
(Academic Journals [©2011 Academic Journals], 2011)The notion of deliberate versus emergent strategy has long been debated. However, researchers have failed to show which method will bring about an increase in organisational performance, which is the bottom line for ... -
Deliktuele aanspreeklikheid van die afrigter in skolesport - 'n sekuriteitsaangeleentheid
(NWU, 2011)Sports law can be regarded as one of the latest developments in law. As applied to the school setting, and with special reference to sport coaching, this article deals with the five fundamental elements of the law of delict ... -
Demographic and socio–economic factors affecting contraceptive use in Malawi
(KRE Publishers, 2014)Malawi has one of the highest Contraceptive Prevalence Rates (CPR) in sub-Saharan Africa. However, fertility remains high and fertility decline is slow. This paper uses data from the 2000 and ... -
Demographic structure and genetic diversity of Mauremys leprosa in its northern range reveal new populations and a mixed origin
(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde, 2015)Freshwater turtle species are still poorly understood, and many species are in decline due to unsustainable trade as well as human alteration and degradation of freshwater ecosystems. Mauremys leprosa is a freshwater ... -
Demokratisering en standaardisering – Teenstrydige doelwitte vir inheemse tale?
(Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, 2011)At fi rst blush, the two concepts, democratisation and standardisation, seem to be in confl ict if the objectives underlying the processes they describe are compared, in particular if they are applied to the fi eld of ... -
Demonstrating an interpretive data collection and analysis process for a DSR project
(Czech institute of academic education z.s, 2014)Design science research has two essential processes, design and evaluation, supported by various approaches. Two of these activities, namely problem identification and evaluation, require qualitative data to be gathered ... -
Demonstrating the benefits of impact assessment for proponents
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)This paper is a call for more studies that explicitly demonstrate the benefits of impact assessment to proponents. While the community of impact assessment practitioners generally believe that impact assessment is beneficial ... -
Demonstrating the value and importance of combining DNA barcodes and discriminant morphological characters for polystome taxonomy (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea)
(Elsevier, 2018)Polystomes are monogenean parasites that infest mainly semi aquatic vertebrates, such as amphibians and chelonians. Owing to the lack of discriminative morphological characters and because polystomes are considered to be ... -
Den frühchristlichen Wundergeschichten Sinn für die Gegenwart entlocken
(University of Catholique Louvain, 2015)Rudolf Bultmann setzte sein Gegenwartsverständnis dem Glauben an Wunder radikal entgegen. Ein Weltbild, das Raum für Wunder hatte, war in seiner Diktion 'erledigt'. So näherte er sich den frühchristlichen Wundergeschichten ... -
Dendrimers: a new class of corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl: experimental and quantum chemical studies
(Elsevier, 2016)The inhibition properties of two ammonia cored dendrimers have been investigated for mild steel corrosion in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution using chemical, electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical calculation methods. ... -
Denied investment: a case of community member’s attitudes towards volunteering in corporate social investment initiatives
(International Foundation For Research & Development IFRD), 2015)Companies use corporate social responsible investment (CSI) initiatives to contribute to the wellbeing of the society they operate in. South African companies continue to increase their involvement in CSI initiatives in ... -
Denjoy-Wolff theorems for Hilbert’s and Thompson’s metric spaces
(Springer, 2018)We study the dynamics of fixed point free mappings on the interior of a normal, closed cone in a Banach space that are nonexpansive with respect to Hilbert’s metric or Thompson’s metric. We establish several Denjoy-Wolff ... -
Denke as krisisterrein in die verskynsel van kerkkrimping by tradisioneel afrikaanssprekende susterkerke
(AOSIS, 2013)Since little can be done, humanly speaking, to address the numerous factors influencing the decline of churches, it is obvious that everything humanly possible must be done. Thinking plays a major role in ecclesiology. ... -
Density and speed of sound measurements of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with acetonitrile at various temperatures
(2014)In the present study, the interactions between acetonitrile and imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were discussed in terms of density (ρ) and speed of sound (u) measurements. The ILs used in this study were 1-ethyl-3- ... -
Density and speed of sound of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulphate with acetic or propionic acid at different temperatures
(Elsevier, 2014)In this work, new density, ρ, and speed of sound, u, were measured for IL, acetic acid, propionic acid, and their binary systems {IL (x1) + acetic or propionic acid (x2)} at 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K under ... -
Density dependence and temporal plasticity of competitive interactions during utilisation of resources by a community of lepidopteran stemborer species
(Wiley, 2017)Interactions within and between species sharing the same resources are characterised by competition or facilitation, and can be influenced by factors such as larval numbers and phenotypic plasticity of the interactions. ... -
Density functional theory molecular modelling and experimental particle kinetics for CO2-char gasification
(Elsevier, 2015)Experimental measurements and DFT atomistic modelling were conducted to elucidate the mechanisms for gasification chemistry of char with CO2 gas. The molecular models used were based on experimental representations of coal ... -
A density-functional theory approach to the separation of K2ZrF6 and K2HfF6 via fractional crystallization
(Wiley, 2011)Because of the low absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons of zirconium (Zr) as opposed to hafnium (Hf), Zr-metal must essentially be Hf-free (<100 ppm Hf) to be suitable for use in nuclear reactors. However, Zr and ...
